Naimaze in kabuki has been known as a narrative creation method, or a group of techniques that combines components in existing kabuki works or in the narratives from other genres for making a new work. Various elements, such as stories, plots, characters, and places, can be used as components in naimaze....

Quadruped robots experience excessive vibrations in the roll direction when turning by controlling their hip yaw joint. In the case of image-based teleoperation of the robot, the operator cannot aware the situation of the robot, due to excessive vibrations of the viewpoint of the image from the camera...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) are widely used in numerous field and the technology keeps growing. Generally, conventional method used in data collection for engineering work is tedious and requires a lot of manpower. This research focuses on the investigation of the suitability of UAV for route survey....

This paper mainly concerns the mean-square quasi-composite rotating formation problem of second-order multi-agent systems (MASs) with stochastic communication noises. Firstly, the definition of mean-square quasi-composite rotating formation is proposed. Afterwards, a distributed control protocol with...

Labors in which forestry and agriculture and factory, are working in severe circumstance. So, such workers are necessarily declines and decreases. However, it is important for us to keep going in economy, life and nature. Therefore, to prevent a devastation of the forest, the safety and the lack of food...

National Center for High-performance Computing (NCHC) built a render farm that provides a platform for the industry to render their work in a much more efficient timeframe, allowing for both central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) rendering. The throughput has also been greatly...

In the previous works, several types of the Self-Repairing Control Systems (SRCS) have been developed against unknown sensor failures. The SRCS can automatically detect failures, and replace failed sensors with healthy backups so as to maintain the system stability. This paper presents a new SRCS, whose...

Rescue robots are expected to perform works in hazardous areas. However, when the robot runs on a rough terrain, fatal rollover falling sometimes occurs. Therefore, we propose a tumble-risk-assessment system, which calculates a normalized energy stability margin by using a 3D depth sensor. Moreover,...

Pulse diagnosis has been proved to be of great practical value in the past dynasties. The key of high-quality pulse diagnosis is how to dynamically adjust the vertical relationship between the pulse and the sensor dynamically. The design adopts a four degree of freedom manipulator combined with a matrix...

The fictitious reference iterative tuning method is used to design Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID) controllers to achieve desired performance for industrial machines. However, the desired control performance cannot be obtained by this method, if the system characteristics changed in steady state....

Parsing Expression Grammar (PEG) proposed by Ford has the higher expressive ability than traditional Backus–Naur form, but it also has problems such as prefix capture. “Prefix capture” is a problem of hiding the language to be accepted according to the order of choice. To support checking syntax files...

Organizational structure is one of the most important factors in determining its performance. Our interest is what kind of structures is efficient, and what conditions are required for an efficient structure? In our previous papers, we proposed a mathematical model for evaluating the hierarchical organization...

Several digital watermarking techniques for audio files have been proposed for hiding data for protecting their copyrights. There is a tradeoff between the quality of watermarked audio and the tolerance of watermarks to signal processing methods, such as compression. To overcome the inevitable tradeoff,...

Agriculture, one of the most important industries for human life, is faced with serious problems, the shortage of workers, the falling birthrate and the aging population, global warming and natural disasters, etc. Tomato is one of the most important fruit vegetables, and most tomatoes in Japan are cultivated...
